Guest Cinch, SASS#29433 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Weapons will be replaced by non-lethal die markers, similar to paintball guns. Agents to Be Disarmed in Border Areas Speaking at a Washington, DC press conference, Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano stated that stripping the Border Patrol of lethal weapons reflects the “long-stated objective of this Adminstration to value human life over all other lesser considerations.” Napolitano stressed that the Border Patrol would not be required to give up all its firearms. The Patrol would still maintain pistols, rifles, and shotguns in “secure lock-ups” removed from the “immediate border area”. The goal of the policy shift, Napolitano stated, is to eliminate the risk of accidental or unintentional injury to “wayward travelers and undocumented citizens”. Napolitano denied that confiscation of Border Patrol Agents’ firearms was a response to “trigger-happy men in green”. Napolitano stated: “I have the greatest faith in our men and women in the Border force”, adding that “we are now giving those Agents viable non-lethal technologies with which they can carry out their duties”.

DocDisaster # 45431 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 An undocumented citizen is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist!!!! This had better be a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Jake1001 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Well.....He's a citizen in Mexico or where ever he came from, and became undocumented when he crossed the border and became an illegal alien here. Why can't our gubmint call them what they really are? Wayward traveler hell......just sayin' Big Jake
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I've done a bit of research and can't find this story on any news site. I think that this would have been a lead story here in Arizona, or on Drudge or FOX at least, but I find no mention ANYWHERE of it. I call hoax.

Guest Milo Talon SASS #23163 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I fell for it.Been ticked off about it all day.Somebody kick me!
Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Based on her performance and comments on other issues thus far, it seemed plausible. Just Tuesday she said “There is a perception that the border is worse now than it ever has been. That is wrong. The border is better now than it ever has been.” Apparently all the kidnappings in Phoenix and the 229 drug killings in Ciudad Jaurez in February are just business as usual. And there's all the inter-agency cooperation and info sharing with "Operation Gunwalker" a.k.a. "Fast & Furious" => http://www.publicintegrity.org/articles/entry/2976/
